DebiCheck Debit Orders

eCashMeUp

Background

Businesses and Customers agree that debit orders are a convenient way to pay their accounts, as it saves them time and having to remember to make payments, thereby giving them peace of mind.

However, on a monthly basis the banks collectively process about 31 million debit orders, 120 000 of which are disputed. Over the past number of years, debit order abuse has become a major issue in South Africa. There has been bad behaviour by some companies that process invalid debit orders to consumer bank accounts. In addition, there are consumers that avoid paying valid debit orders by unfairly disputing these with their banks. As a result, the Reserve Bank has asked PASA (Payments Association of South Africa) to find a solution.
